Movie Review by Lisa

Think back 12 years before Angelina Jolie's adoption spree, even before she donned a terrible English accent and married Billie Bob. Back in 95 she was married to Jonny Lee Miller (best known as 'Sick Boy' in trainspotting) and they made this fun little movie together.
The unfortunate thing about this movie is that the makers didn't quite account for the speed of technological advancement, which dated this film all too quickly. Thankfully I'm a compu-tard (my 7 year old niece puts me to shame) so this didn't bother me in the slightest, even the fact that they all had dorky hacker names didn't bother me so much.
Jonny Lee Miller plays Dade Murphy (the Yankee accent is very unbecoming) a computer wiz kid who crashed Wall Street at age 11 and was banned from using computers until he was 18. As soon as he turns 18 he starts hacking again and hooks up with some other hackers including the super cool Jolie who plays "Acid Burn" and Matthew Lillard who plays "Cereal Killer". Dade and his hacker friends are being blamed for a computer virus that plans to sink a bunch of oil tankers and they must use all their computer skills to prevent this from happening and clear their names.
I think everyone has one film that they just love and don't really know why....this is mine, this is my compulsion I watch it every time its on the telly and at least once a month if its not.
I just love the scene where they are skating to Grand Central station to the soundtrack of 'Voodoo People' by the Prodigy.
